Alex Blumberg, CEO of Gimlet Media and host of the Startup Podcast wanted to actively engage his membership base with a video Q&A.

Strategy

Alex hosted this first private event with Lisa and Stevie of Gimlet Media. The URL was distributed via email and a special password was provided so that only subscribers of the Gimlet Media newsletter could attend.

Results

Alex was able to actively engage with his members in the live Q&A. He provided a high level of value to his existing paid subscriber base. Participants were able to interact with the hosts by using both the Ask Question and Raise Hand features on Shindig.
